Jedi June 2024

A creative fandom event dedicated to appreciating the Jedi, taking place during the entire month of June! Each week will feature two prompts, around which people can create fanwork (of any kind – fic, art, cosplay, edits, anything you can think of) or meta focusing on the Jedi and the Jedi Order. All eras and continuities are welcome; OCs, established characters, doesn’t matter – it just needs to be about appreciating the Jedi!

Rules:

If you are participating, please tag your work/meta with #jedi june and/or @ this blog so that I will see it and reblog it here. All work must be your own. Feel free to crosspost it off-site.

This is an appreciation event, focusing on what we love and enjoy about the Jedi – not what we don’t. This is not the place to air your grievances with the Code, take potshots at the Council, prop certain Jedi/certain eras of Jedi up at the expense of others, or disparage the Jedi Order or their philosophy (including the concept of non-attachment) and way of life in any way. You are free to do that on your own time if that’s your thing, but it has no place within this event.

AUs and crossovers are allowed, with caveats: again, the purpose of this event is to appreciate the Jedi as Jedi, so sticking your favorite Jedi characters in something like a modern AU or making them all Sith or Mandalorian is not really within the spirit of this event. However, AUs such as making a non-Jedi character a Jedi, having a character survive their canon death, giving a character a different teacher or padawan, or killing Palpatine off-screen in an unspecified yet embarrassing and painful manner, would all be perfectly fine. Use your best judgement to determine whether an AU fits the spirit of the event or not.

Ships are allowed as long as they’re not between a child and adult, and following the above rules.

Please tag any spoilers up to two weeks after the relevant content has aired.

Following the prompts is encouraged, but not required. Any sort of pro-Jedi content is encouraged all year month long, and if tagged (and following the rules), will be reblogged.

We also have an AO3 collection!

Prompts:

Week 1 (June 2 - 8):

Prompt 1: Fun/Joy

Prompt 2: Comfort

Week 2 (June 9 - 15):

Prompt 1: Advice/Inspiration

Prompt 2: Balance

Week 3 (June 16 - 22):

Prompt 1: Art/Music

Prompt 2: Peace

Week 4 (June 23 - 29):

Prompt 1: Non-attachment/Letting go

Prompt 2: Cross-lineage mentorship

Bonus (any time):

Prompt 1: Eyes Closed/Trust in the Force

Prompt 2: Animal Friendship

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask! I hope you will have fun participating!

Every fandom needs those classic vine edits :)

So here's my take on Coltlandgentry & Bloodymary, with a sprinkle of Nice Guys for fun :p

[not-so-secret-holes]

Honestly, the Dom!Simon + Sub!Grace dynamic does not make sense to me.

You mean to tell me that the guy pleading and crying for 90+ minutes wouldn't do the same in bed? Simon, who hasn't felt loving touch since he was born? That Simon?

Same with Grace. The same Grace that tells Rocky to "use his words"? THAT GRACE? ARE WE FR??

Yall need to stop seeing angry or violent characters as dominant when them being violent aka "dominant" is them FIGHTING FOR THEIR OWN AUTONOMY AND FREEFOM WHICH THEY WONT HAVE TO DO IF THEYRE WITH SOMEONE WHO LETS THEM HAVE THAT FREEDOM

And I think that is what makes the difference in their dynamic specifically.

While I do see Simon as someone who prefers being on top and has to do things on his own terms, he needs someone to guide him. To reassure him that he's safe. Aka Grace. Who'd allow him to finally take without having to worry about anything else.

TLDR: Power bottom! Simon and Service top! Grace statement.

Prolly gonna invest more time and thought into this.

[vv0812]

I don't understand why people have agree to make Grace the submissive one in his relationship with Simon.

Canonically Grace has been a person of authority not only as a teacher but as a leader scientist, besides he admits in the book he likes to be respected, and in the movie is able to use his teacher voice to keep some kind of order (or at least try) once Rocky moved to the Hail Mary. In the book Rocky is more bossy, but is still Grace who has the last vote in what they do, because he is the scientist, he is the one with the knowledge and autority to evaluate if something can work or not in the end. Grace is who knows what they need to do, Rocky makes it possible.

Simon, for better or worse, has been a follower most of his life, he knows how to follow orders and even when he has show to be smart and think out of the box, I do not think he would feel very comfortable having power over someone else, because that puts on him the weight of responsability and I think that after risking his (actually dying but lets forget that) for a chance of humanity he would not want to carry with something like that again. Specially having so much control over a person, having his trauma that covers the "I kill a lot of people", I think he would not know how to deal with it.

Other thoughts:

I think people made interpretations of Grace been more submissive because they have the image of Movie!Grace (lovely image), in which he look very soft and helpless. However, I have a mix with the book, in which Grace is more sassy and has more actitud, even mentioning wanting to punch parents and some colleges.

I also think that people like to give Simon this image of a very in power and control man, because he seems kind of aggressive, or like a payment for all the control and power that it was taken away from him, but I don't think that Simon would want more power than the one he needs to control himself and take his own decisions.

I feel people made Grace submissive because they have as reference Grace interactions with Stratt, and I think that people do not realize that Stratt was a kind of exception and that Grace wasn't all that helpless with her until she send him to space, Even when Stratt had all the power of the world, Grace was able to have a friendship with her in where she looked at him as a equal or even a point of reference related to the science part of the project.

In the book is Stratt who asks Grace a lot of things to understand if something would work, which give Grace a lot of power, because depending how he gives this info to Stratt she would take a choice. There is even a scene in which Stratt ask for his opinion about if putting the astronauts in coma or not.

In the end of the day Grace was the second in command.

I have the believe that Simon would panic with the power of chosing over someone else, because he would not want to take away the will of someone else.

Also I feel that we have this picture that dominating part of a realtionship has to be intimidating or physically powerful, when the true is that they just need to know how to dominate/control their partners.

Extra Extra:

I think that if Grace was the dominating and Simon the submissive would also have a lot more of vulnerability and intimidacy, because to get to this point Grace must have to show to Simon that he is worthy of been trusted to use the power that Simon has gave to him without taking advantage of it.

I know, I know, some people are thinking in the sexual stuff of all of it, but honestly I'm not thinking in that, power dynamics go beyond that, it could be something like Grace having to sleep Simon for a medical procedure, or Simon letting Grace be the one with the final choice in a hard situation because he knows that Grace would never choose something that would made him harm.

Extra Extra Extra:

I'm also believe that if Grace ever praises Simon, Simon would melt on the spot. It could be in any context, maybe Simon is just watering a plant or fixing something and Grace tell him a joyful "good job!" or "you are good doing that", and Simon would be undone.

[brainrot-yumm]

kind of really annoyed by the bara Simon/twink Grace tropes that are going along the Bloodymary tag, when that's really not what their characters are alike at all. like I know a lot of it was rooted from people who only watched one movie n not both but guyss!!!! That's not it at all!!!!! (character study)

First off, Grace is just as buff as Simon. They're both muscle men. Grace starts out literally calling himself "forever muscles" when trying to regain his memory. A point can be made if they meet up during the scurvy era but if they're meeting after Grace has been on Erid (with higher gravity) for a nonzero amount of time AND fed a proper supply of meburgers, he should be relatively swole once more. I could even argue that the most afflicted Simon would be weaker than post-movie Grace. So jot that down.

Second, I saw one fic where Simon shows up at the beginning, acts like a bodyguard, shuts down Grace at every turn and then just does all the scary stuff Grace does originally, cause he's overprotective and "more capable." And to this I say: FuUuUuCk that.

Simon is not a big brave stone cold mean man man, just like how Grace is not a smol silly innocent little lovey boy. And something I think a lot of people aren't getting (or don't know how to conceptualize) is that Simon is not braver than Grace. I could argue Grace is more brave. Or at least that their bravery is completely different from each other.

Sure, these two movies are very similar. a random guy is stuck on a ship in the middle of an uninhabitable infinity, and must deal with the consequences of that while they fight to change anything about the world. But they are completely different situations. Simon is raw bravery, and Grace is prepared bravery.

Grace wakes up with amnesia, but still completely educated and with resources. Simon goes down aware, quick learning, but not with an ability to understand the whys. Grace has the technological world at his fingertips. Simon is told nothing until it's too late. Grace is never given a chance to beg for his life once he wakes up with nothing. Simon is a surgery without anesthesia, begging for every chance to end up okay with the slimmest hope of being heard. Grace gets a little alien friend to help him at every turn. Simon's little alien friend's idea of helping is taking him out back to be shot with ascension.

Most notably, Grace has minutes, weeks, years. He has so much time to be productive, to learn, to grow, to prepare himself for his bravery. Simon has seconds. Maybe minutes, if the blood is being particularly nice.

This can also be turned on its head, of course. Grace is brave because he does it anyway. If he wanted, he didn't have to be brave. He could've not stuck out his head, not taken his head off, not met the alien, not risk literally everything for the taumoeba. He had years to be a coward, and he could've. He would've regretted it, and hated himself, but he could've not been brave.

But Simon never got that luxury. It was fight or die. Ram at full speed and risk the ship, or die. Barter with every scrap or die. Scream and sob and irradiate yourself and feel the hivemind ocean curdle your skin and fight. or. die. And in that way, it's hard to say whether it was adrenaline or bravery that made him survive as long as he did, or whether the two options are just different sides of the same coin.

Again, I'm not saying that either of these men are, like, better than the other. What I'm saying is that Simon loses his temper because he is terrified out of his mind, but he also cries just as much as Grace does in the span of a few hours/days. He is a trembling chihuahua in a dog fighting ring. Grace is terrified, but he is allowed joy, acceptance, companionship and choice, even when so much of his situation was chosen for him. If the situations were swapped, I'm not sure if Grace would survive even half as long. I'm not sure if Simon would be brave enough to save the world.

(edit: as a commenter [larix-laricina] also put it, Grace has someone to fight for. He has a reason to be brave, his kids and then Rocky. Simon has a plant at the very most. he fights because there is nothing left to fight for. So in the chance they swap places without having their memories changed, Simon would probably just live and die cozy in his spaceship, considering it blood retirement. Rocky would have to fight for every step if they even met)

All this to say: If anyone's the twink (or twink stereotype), that's SIMON 😤. GRACE IS THE BARA 😤😤😤. If Simon is teleported onto Erid he should get to be pampered like a princess in the comforting arms of Ryan Gosling just like Markiplier saidddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GUyss come onnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And if I'm wrong may lightning smite me dowNNAUGHHHHH (<-was just smoted)

[rydalochka]

I like when Grace gets his muscles back after his settling on Erid, because 1) muscles would help him in stronger gravity; 2) Simon deserves to hide his face in Grace big boobies and do brbrbrbrbrbr

[rydalochka]

Of course I jumped into a new fandom and am making up scenarios of Wei Wuxain falling for protagonists. That's kind of my thing. I am fucking them with hot asian necromancer from middle ages.

[rydalochka]

I find the number of bottom Simon fics very concerning. Don't you want him relaxed and sweet on his back? Don't you want him to hear "it's alright, baby. I will take care of you"??? He has experienced so much horror and cried so much angry tears — now he deserves kisses, hugs and being screwed tenderly every night.

[rylana404]

Do you think Markiplier knows he's being shipped with Ryan Gosling?

[theladyofrosewater]

considering Mark is on tumblr I'd say he might be vaguely aware, yes

hE'S ON TUMBLR???????

[damnitgabrieldoyourjob]

I read this amazingly heart-wrenching DunkBaelor story on ao3, can't find it at will add name once I do, but anyway Baelor still dies at Ashford but then haunts Dunk and Dunk sees him whenever he's close to dying.

Yeah.

Anyway, that is a killer story idea I feel like we've all been sleeping on guys. Baelor haunting the Narrative, yes, but Baelor also literally haunting Dunk. Baelor died from wounds sustained during a Trail of 7, meant to call the gods in to pass judgment, and now Dunk can see one (1) ghost and its his dead husband.

Dunk, of course, never mentions this to anyone and he and Egg still go off and explore the 7 kingdoms like in canon, just with the added commentary of the previous heir to the Iron throne that only Dunk can hear. His poker face improves in leaps and bounds ver quickly. Sometimes family is you, your runaway prince of a squire, and your squires dead uncle. Dunk still never learns how to read or write well, because Baelor can't interact with anything, but learns Dornish and High Valarien and every other language Baelor speaks because I think it would be hilarious.

This also leads into the opportunity for time travel shenanigans, where Dunk does eventually die and then he and Baelor both shoot straight upright some time in the past like, " Wtf?" Could be right before Ashford, that could be funny. Dunk rocking up to the tourney with 2 previously missing princes and Immediately sliding into the crown prince's dms, and it'd being reciprocated????

Or maybe it's earlier, maybe it's the Blackfire rebellion and Dunk slides (sneaks) unaccountably into the logistical nightmare of war and meets up with His prince at Redgrass field, and on one hand Baelor is So happy to have his missing husband back but on the other is now constantly having a heart attack if he looses sight of Dunk because this is Redgrass field! Anyway Dunk kills Damien Blackfire and returns to Kings Landing with Baelor and so many people start questioning this decision that Baelor starts literally growling at people. He skips calm and reasonable and jumps feet first into draconic possessiveness. He straight up bites Bloodraven at one point and Dunk laughs and then makes Baelor wash his mouth out.

Also, for angst potential; the closer Dunk is to death the better Baelor can touch him. Normally it just a cold feeling, the prince of Dragonstone as cold in death as he was hot in life. That time Dunk nearly drowns in canon, its Baelor who pulls him from the water. Dunk gets sick or injured and Baelor worridly nurses him back to health begging him to hold on, to stay with him, Get Up.

Yeah, just Baelor haunting Dunk very specifically.

[leupagus]

Baelor seriously if you'd just wifed Dunk here none of that shit would've happened

[gsope]

remember to kiss your beloved knight

[mmelolabelle]

Spearhedge is fundamentally two men who are pretty much instantly and intensely devoted to one another and don’t really question it until Baelor dies and Dunk spends his whole life ruminating on it and mourning Baelor like a girl who was widowed on her wedding day

The point here is that there is no way that relationship doesn’t rapidly descend into Dunk and Baelor both yelling “SEVEN HELLS SIT DOWN AND LET ME TAKE CARE OF YOU!”

The king and his man👑🛡

(aka Baelor lives and Dunk eventually becomes part of his Kingsguard😌)

[thewriteadviceforwriters]

the ADHD writer's guide to actually finishing a draft (no, seriously) 📝

okay, tumblr, writers... we need to TALK about how to actually finish a damn draft when your executive functioning decided to pack its bags and leave for a permanent vacation in the bahamas.

i'm not here to give you that basic "just set a timer!" advice that makes me want to throw my laptop into the sun. we all know those productivity hacks that work for neurotypicals make us want to scream into the void. (been there, screamed that.)

so here's the ACTUAL guide from someone who's written three novels while her brain was actively trying to sabotage her the entire time.

FIRST: accept that linear writing is a capitalist construct designed to torture us.

i'm serious. whoever decided writers should start at chapter 1 and proceed neatly to THE END clearly didn't have dopamine playing hide-and-seek in their prefrontal cortex.

write whatever scene has your brain chemicals SINGING today. that climactic fight scene that's six chapters away? the tender moment between your characters that happens in the middle? WRITE IT NOW while your brain is actually interested. i have finished entire novels by writing them in chunks and stitching them together like the beautiful frankenstein's monster they are.

SECOND: the 10-minute lie (that actually works???)

tell yourself you're only going to write for 10 minutes. that's it. no pressure. your adhd brain can handle anything for 10 minutes, right? the secret is that once you start, momentum becomes your best friend. sometimes you'll actually stop at 10 minutes (congrats, you still wrote something!) but often you'll look up and realize it's been two hours and you've written 2,000 words. and yes i've seen this a lot, like everywhere, where they tell you "set a timer for 5, and by the time you realize it's 2 hours" i've seen this many times before, and it actually works. at first i thought it didn't but boy, i was wrong.

THIRD: use your hyperfixation powers for good, not evil.

we all know that adhd comes with the superpower of becoming obsessed with random things for unpredictable amounts of time. WEAPONIZE THIS. create artificial urgency around your project. tell people about your deadline. make elaborate aesthetic pinterest boards. create a spotify playlist that you only listen to while writing this specific project. trick your brain into making your WIP the shiny new hyperfixation.

FOURTH: body-doubling saved my writing career and it can save yours too.

find another writer friend (or any friend who needs to do focused work) and sit together - virtually or physically - while you both work. something about having another human witnessing your work process bypasses the executive dysfunction. i swear it's actual magic. discord writing sprints, zoom sessions with cameras off but mics on - whatever works.

FIFTH: embrace the chaos of your natural writing cycle.

some days you'll write 5,000 words in a frenzy at 3am. other days you'll stare at the document for an hour and write "the." BOTH ARE VALID WRITING DAYS. the only consistency we need is returning to the document, not some arbitrary daily word count.

SIXTH: create external accountability that doesn't make you want to die.

deadlines from publishers? great. deadlines you set for yourself? your brain laughs and says "or what?" find the sweet spot - maybe it's a writing buddy you check in with, maybe it's a public progress tracker, maybe it's promising your sister you'll take her to dinner when you finish a chapter.

SEVENTH: the frankendraft approach.

your first draft DOES NOT need to be good, coherent, or even make sense. it just needs to exist. leave yourself notes like [FIGURE OUT HOW SHE GETS FROM THE CASTLE TO THE BEACH LATER] and keep moving. your adhd brain will thank you for not getting stuck in research rabbit holes for six hours.

EIGHTH: find your optimal writing environment through shameless trial and error.

maybe you need complete silence. maybe you need to be in a coffee shop with specific ambient noise. maybe you need to write standing up. maybe you need to dictate your novel while pacing around your apartment. there is no wrong way to get the words out.

i personally write best when i'm slightly uncomfortable (weird, i know) so i often end up writing while sitting on my kitchen floor with my laptop balanced on a chair. whatever works, bestie. a finished messy draft is infinitely more valuable than the perfect novel still trapped in your head. your adhd brain is simultaneously your greatest challenge and your greatest asset as a writer. the connections you make, the unique perspectives, the creativity - all of that comes from the same place as the struggles.

you've got this. now go write something, even if it's just for 10 minutes. i believe in you. ✨ -rin t.
